John Glenn-Westland High had never beaten Plymouth in the history of the two schools, but finally had a chance to do so with a 33-yard field goal attempt on the last play of their homecoming game last week. And … it’s blocked. Too bad. Well … wait! The ball never crossed the goal line. Pick it up! Run! Ahhhh!
One would think that after the crazy blocked field goal shenanigans in Vermont last month, high school kids would be prepared for stuff like this. What makes the video following the jump so awesome, however, is not the unlikely TD itself, but the announcers going from sadly reserved to absolutely mental in 0.6 seconds. I could swear that one coughed up a lung, which was also returned for a touchdown.
Video below.
Bonus greatness: the fan in the background screaming “Oh my God!”
And now just for comparison, the Miracle of Otter Valley:

How is the holder not down when he is holding the ball with his knee clearly on the ground after the blocked kick?

it’s not clearly on the ground, and even if it were, if the refs don’t see it, the ball is live
i don’t believe they have replay at this level

Holder was down but other teams players were also running on the field…I say count it just for the other team not knowing the rules and being fucking stupid, borderline terrorists (every true American knows the rules of football, the ones who don’t you have to question)…
I’m still hoping that kid, from the first disaster that spiked the ball, got kicked off the team, and deported….

Good to see the high school kids getting in on the Breast Cancer Awareness trend.

The place holder is the only player in football that is aloud to have his knee down in football. On fake FG’s he can get up and throw/run.
